CONTROL CIRCUIT WITH BURST MODE AND EXTENDED VALLEY SWITCHING FOR QUASI-RESONANT POWER CONVERTER

摘要

A control circuit for power converter according to the present invention comprises a PWM circuit generating a switching signal coupled to switch a transformer of the power converter. A feedback input circuit is coupled to an output of the power converter for generating a feedback signal. The feedback signal is coupled to turn off the switching signal. A detection circuit is coupled to the transformer for generating a valley signal in response to a waveform of the transformer. A frequency-variation circuit is coupled to receive the feedback signal and the valley signal for generating a frequency-variation signal. The frequency-variation signal is coupled to turn on the switching signal. A burst circuit is coupled to receive the feedback signal for generating a burst signal to disable the switching signal.
